Source: Authors’ analysis is based on the survey data collected for this project (Barrera-Osorio, Kugler, and Silliman 2019).

Note: After reporting baseline means for the technical treatment group and the baseline difference between the social and technical groups, column (1) reports post-period differences from a regression including only group identifiers course-stratification fixed effects, and column (2) reports results from regressions including group identifiers, baseline demographic measures, stratification fixed effects, pre-treatment outcome measures, and days from the intended program graduation date. Significance levels (* = 0.10, ** = 0.05, *** = 0.01).
